  1. Most tyres have balance weights on the inside wheel rim. Maybe these have come off causing the wheel judder/rattle. Good luck.
  2. Thank you Bob. I hope you have a fantastic cruise and brilliant time in Madeira.
  3. Some photos from our 2 visits to Madeira on our 2 week Canary Islands cruise on Azura November 18th to December 2nd. You will have a lovely time Michelle. Graham.
  4. Great photos and Happy 45th birthday for your DD today Lenda.
  5. I never do a dry January but I haven't had an alcoholic drink since New years Eve. Well done for your in person graduation at Sheffield university and you deserve a glass of prosecco with your family. Unless we are on a cruise or out for a meal I never drink. Graham.
  6. Our check in for Ventura in October was 13.30pm. We got to Ocean terminal at 12.30pm went upstairs and they checked our documents and gave us a coloured numbered card and we had to sit down. About 20 minutes later our coloured number was called and we checked in then went to security to check our hand luggage before getting on Ventura.
  7. Thank you Sandi you were right they are peculiar people. Great photos. Sending you our prayers 🙏 on your late mam's 10th memory. Like you we were engaged on the same date that my mam died 33 years later. I hope you both can celebrate your engagement anniversary and your dear mams memory. I also hope your dear daughters foot is recovering well. Graham.
  8. Thank you Roy for posting today's daily and fleet reports. It is 44°F and raining here in North East England. Having been a chocolate sales representative for over 35 years I love milk and white chocolate but I am not keen on dark bitter chocolate unless it is covering marzipan. Today's food sounds good. Prayers 🙏 for everyone who is poorly. I hope everyone has a nice day. Graham.
  9. Pauline was quite annoyed with those envelopes especially after all the tips I had already handed out. Pauline prefers P&O and why since our staycation cruise in August 2021 we have had 6 P&O cruises. 2 RCL cruises. Our last Princess cruise as Elite members a 15 nights Hawaiian cruise on Grand Princess from San Francisco November/December 2019 the food and service was outstanding and why I happily paid $420 autogratuties but some crew did ask us to give them favourable feedback on the cruise review which happens on RCL too.
  10. Good morning. It is currently 49°F and raining here in North East England. I pray 🙏 everyone is safe and well.
  11. Good morning. It is currently 8°C and raining here. I hope everyone is well including @terrierjohn and @AndyMichelle.
  12. After paying auto gratuities on RCL Anthem of the seas $10 tip every night in chops grill or Wonderland. $1tip for every one of our 10 free daily drinks as Diamond plus members which was our choice but then :- last day we had several Tip Tip Hooray envelopes left in our cabin for additional tips. Guests who had stopped auto gratuities had a copy of their on board account clearly showing in their docket outside their cabin a day early ?. We were on Harmony of the seas maiden voyage. Norwegian Gem maiden voyage. It seems as though most people enjoyed Arvia and I'm sure any issues will be sorted.
  13. Iona shows were 8.30pm and 10.30pm in the theatre when we were on in March. The better shows I booked on line on the cruise planner. The other shows did not need to be booked. When you board they actively encourage you to go and check in at your tender station. I go straight to the My Holiday desk to book speciality restaurants and get them to update my holiday app so I can pre book additional items.
  14. Thank you @Eglesbrech. I'm happy to hear you have booked another cruise and pleased that my and John's @zapp positive cruise reviews from personal experience have helped. Our cruises are shared between P&O. Princess. Royal Caribbean. Royal and Princess where tipping is very proactively pursued by the crew does result in better service than P&O which is a bit false imo. The service in the P&O speciality/pay restaurants is excellent. Crew in Epicurean on Ventura in October and Azura in November recognised us from our previous cruises on Britannia and Iona dining in Epicurean and they were genuinely pleased to see us.
  15. That is excellent news if you have no active lesions and no change showing on your MRI from November 2019. Graham.
  16. Good afternoon. Thank you Roy for a great new daily reports day. Thank you to our food and beverage ladies for all their excellent input every day. True quote. Law enforcement is a tough job and I appreciate what all the good officers do to keep us safe. Food sounds okay. We have been to Denmark several times but not to today's port. Prayers 🙏 for all that are unwell. I wish everyone a happy day. Graham.
  17. It is never Formal night on the first or last night in my experience of 61 cruises. Usually it is on a sea day. We were on Azura from November 18th to December 2nd. A lot of people adhered to Formal night which is rigidly enforced in Main dining Room. Epicurean Blue Bar. If you do not want to dress formally there was no problems going to Sindhu. Glass house. Buffet. Theatre. Wishing you an amazing first cruise. Graham.
  18. Best wishes Mary Kay for a fantastic holiday in Hawaii. Graham.
